Xander's grip on Austin tightened, his obsession still burning in his eyes. His breath was heavy as he pressed against Austin, unwilling to let go. But then, Austin, still breathless, placed a gentle hand on Xander’s chest and whispered, "Cool down... remember, I need to breathe for the baby inside me to grow."
Xander froze. His intense gaze softened slightly as he processed Austin’s words. His hands, which had been gripping tightly, slowly loosened. His breathing steadied, and he rested his forehead against Austin’s.
"Mine," Xander murmured, his voice still filled with possession but now laced with something gentler. His hands traced Austin’s sides protectively.
Austin sighed in relief, feeling the tension shift. He knew he had to be careful—Xander’s obsession was overwhelming, but reminding him of the baby seemed to ground him, at least for now.
Austin stayed still in Xander’s arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace, but his mind was racing. He had to be careful. Every word, every movement could either soothe Xander or push him deeper into his obsession.
Xander traced slow circles on Austin’s back, his voice low and almost hypnotic. “I’ve waited so long for this… for you to finally be mine.”
Austin swallowed, trying to keep his voice calm. “But I was always yours, wasn’t I?” He chose his words carefully, knowing they would keep Xander grounded.
Xander’s grip on him tightened possessively. “Yes… but now, no one can take you from me.” His golden eyes darkened as he tilted Austin’s chin up to meet his gaze. “Not the past, not that blonde fool, and certainly not fate.”
Austin shivered at the intensity in Xander’s voice. He knew this wasn’t just love—this was obsession at its peak. Xander wasn’t just holding him; he was claiming him.
Before Austin could respond, there was a knock at the door. A servant’s voice called from the other side. “Your Highness, the Queen requests an audience with Lady Seraphina.”
Austin stiffened. The Queen? His mother in this world? He wasn’t ready for this.
Xander growled lowly, his grip tightening again. “She has no right to call for you. You belong to me.”
Austin forced a small smile, trying to keep Xander calm. “I have to go, Xander. If I refuse, she’ll suspect something.”
Xander’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “I don’t like this.”
Austin carefully placed his hands on Xander’s cheeks, gently forcing him to look at him. “I’ll come back, okay? Just trust me.”
Xander stared at him for a long moment before sighing. “Fine. But I want you back in my arms before the sun sets.”
Austin nodded quickly, slipping out of Xander’s hold before he could change his mind. As he left the room, he exhaled deeply.
Now, he had to deal with the Queen. And he had no idea what she wanted.
As Austin reached the door, he hesitated, turning back to look at Xander. "What if I don't come back before sunset?" he asked carefully, testing Xander's reaction.
Xander’s expression darkened instantly. His golden eyes gleamed with possessiveness as he stepped forward, caging Austin against the door. His fingers traced Austin’s jawline before gripping his chin firmly. "Then I will come and take you myself. No matter where you are, no matter who you're with, I will find you."
Austin swallowed hard. The weight of Xander’s words sent a shiver down his spine.
Xander leaned closer, his lips brushing against Austin’s ear as he whispered, "And if you ever think of disobeying me, love... remember, you are carrying my child. You are mine."
Austin’s breath hitched as Xander tilted his chin up, forcing him to look directly into his piercing yellow eyes. A wicked smirk curled on Xander’s lips as he added in a low, teasing voice, "Now, listen to Daddy and be a good boy, okay?"
Austin’s face burned red. His heart pounded loudly in his chest. "X-Xander—"
But before he could protest, Xander pressed a deep kiss to his lips, his grip possessive, reminding Austin exactly who he belonged to. When he finally pulled away, he ran his thumb over Austin’s swollen lips and smirked.
"Hurry back, love. Or I’ll come claim what’s mine."
Austin turned quickly, his mind spinning as he left the room. He knew Xander’s obsession ran deep—but now, it was more dangerous than ever.

I read myself many stories, and whenever there’s a queen involved in the story, she’s always evil.
